There are some exciting goings-ons around the Galaxy in the coming weeks that you should know about.
1. This coming Saturday, November 23, from 2-4 PM the Galaxy is hosting a space for writers to write in at Claire's. November is National Novel Writing Month, NaNoWriMo, but you don't have to be working on your 50,000 words in 30 days to join us. You can just drop in with your pen and paper or your laptop and spend some time writing in the company of others! (We need to wrap up swiftly at 4 PM when the dinner staff comes on.)
2. Sunday, December 1st, from 8 AM to 5 PM is the Galaxy's 25th Anniversary Celebration! There will be the annual customer appreciation sale as well as guest booksellers: 11 AM will find Natalie Kinsey-Warnock in the store, Howard Frank Mosher steps in at 1 PM and 3 PM will bring David Budbill. Please come out and celebrate these 25 years with us -- we would love to see you!
3. And last but not least, mark your calendar now for Tuesday, December 3rd, 7 PM the second ever Galaxy Bookshop Book Jam! From our web site:
Last spring, we hosted Pages in the Pub, with the Book Jam blog and Jeudevine Library. It was such a popular event, that we're bringing it back, just in time for the holidays!
Gather some friends and join us for drinks and an evening of great conversation about books with our expert panel. Lisa Sammet, of the Jeudevine Library; Linda Ramsdell; Lisa Christie, of the Book Jam Blog; and a special guest from the community will present a list of the books they are the most excited to share with others this season. It's a great opportunity to make your list of winter reading, as well as to get gift ideas for your friends and family!
Tickets to this event are $10, and the cost includes one beer, wine, or soda and a donation to the Jeudevine Library. Tickets are available for sale in advance at The Galaxy Bookshop and the Jeudevine Library.
